Killing me softly (Power Bender Tuning)

-5  6   -6   7  -6   5  -6   
 I heard he sang a good song,
 7  -6   6  -5  6   4
 I heard he had a style.
 -5  6 -6  7  -6  7  -7  
 And so I came to see him 
 -7  8 -7   7 -6   7
 to listen for a while.
  8    7   6  -5    5   -5    6   
 And there he was, this young boy, 
-6 -6  -6  -6 -6  7 -7
 a stranger to my eyes,

Chorus

 8   8   8    8   -5   -6   -6   6  
 Strumming my pain with his fingers
 -7 -7   -7  -7   -6   5  -5
 Singing my life with his words.
-5  -5  -5  -5  7   8   -7   7
 Killing me softly with his song,
 -8 -8   -8  8 -7  -6   -7   7  
 Killing me softly with his song,
  7  7    7   7   -6    4   -6    6
 Telling my whole life with his words.
  6   6   6  -5  5   5    5  -5
 Killing me softly with his song.
